“The
biggest threat to free speech is that WE are actively silencing
OURSELVES, not that the government is silencing us….The outrage machine
will just dull us all down to the point where we won’t share ANY
original thought because we won’t want to deal with the repercussions.You think I’m being alarmist here? Well, do we seem more politically correct or less politically correct than 5 years ago? What about 10 years ago? Do you find yourself censoring yourself more or less
now than even last year? Who is forcing you to censor yourself? Is it
the government? I don’t think so.And guess what, this creep of stifling speech for fear of being
ostracized isn’t going to magically reverse itself: we have to
pro-actively fight it. And we should have started this a long time ago.”

“I have no doubt that, someday, the distortion of truth by the radical feminists of our time will be seen to have been the greatest intellectual crime of the second half of the twentieth century. At the present time, however, we still live under the aegis of that crime, and calling attention to it is an act of great moral courage” - Professor Howard S. Schwartz, of Oakland University in Michigan, USA, 2001
